mpalis/iStock via Getty Images Citi analysts on Wednesday upgraded Clean Harbors ( CLH ) to Buy from a previous investment rating of Neutral, arguing that improving U.S. chemicals production could drive stronger demand for hazardous waste disposal. The report by analyst Bryan Burgmeier highlights that rising output, partly offsetting disruptions in the Middle East, could create more waste streams for Clean Harbors’ environmental services segment. This business is already the company’s most profitable, with exposure to chemicals making up a meaningful share of revenue. Higher complexity waste, especially from chemical production, typically commands premium pricing and could boost margins beyond current company guidance. Earnings outlook moves higher Citi increased its financial forecasts, now expecting 2026 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to reach about $1.3 billion, above company guidance. Free cash flow estimates were also lifted to roughly $566 million. The analysts see environmental services performing at the high end of expectations, supported by volume growth and pricing gains. They also expect the Safety-Kleen segment to benefit from higher oil prices, which tend to lift margins on recycled base oils and lubricants. Oil and pricing trends support Safety-Kleen Stronger crude prices and tight supply in base oils are expected to improve profitability in the company’s oil re-refining business. Citi now projects a sharp increase in segment earnings, with gains building through the year as pricing flows through to results. Supply constraints in global energy markets, including disruptions tied to Middle East tensions, are also supporting higher prices for refined products and lubricants. That dynamic could further enhance returns in this segment. Stock seen lagging peers despite favorable setup Citi argues that Clean Harbors ( CLH ) shares have not kept pace with a recent rally in U.S. chemical stocks. Chemical companies have surged in...
